Feb 2016 fuel prices: RON95, 97 down, diesel RM1.35!

And just like that, we’re heading into the second month of the year. How time flies. Fuel prices for February 2016 are out, and once again it’s good news for Malaysian motorists, especially those with long journeys planned this Chinese New Year.

For this coming month, RON 95 will be priced at RM1.75 per litre (10 sen down compared to January 2016), RON 97 at RM2.05 per litre (20 sen down), diesel at RM1.35 per litre (25 sen down) and Euro 5 diesel at RM1.45 (25 sen down). RON 100, meanwhile, is not regulated, and price changes (if any) may not necessarily happen on the 1st of each month. For now, Petron Blaze 100 is priced at RM2.80 per litre.

Since December 2015, RON 95 has come down by 20 sen, RON 97 by 40 sen, and diesel by a staggering 55 sen. What do you think of these prices?

A car’s technical brilliance is completely lost on him, appreciating character-making quirks more. When not writing this ego trip of a bio, he’s usually off driving about aimlessly, preferably in a car with the right combination of three foot pedals and six gears.
